This is because the internal IDs of the vertices and edges in igraph are always
consecutive integers from 0 to |V|-1 (or |E|-1), and whenever you pass
a numeric argument to an igraph function that expects a vertex or an edge, it
will treat it as the ID of the vertex or edge. However, if you pass a string
for a vertex argument, it will be looked up in the "name" vertex attribute. So,
the easiest is probably to ensure that all your vertex names are strings in the
original graph, then you can take the subgraph and keep on using the names (as
strings of course).
